What it's good for
Sanity-checking rough tax exposure before you dig into the full country guide or speak with an advisor.
What it uses
Headline capital gains tax rates for trading gains and headline income tax rates for staking, mining, and other crypto income.

How this estimate works

Trading gains use the country guide's headline capital gains tax rate.

Staking, mining, and other crypto income use the headline income tax rate.

If a rate is a range, the calculator returns a low/high estimate range.

If a rate is listed as exempt or 0%, the estimate for that category is 0.

If the necessary rate data is missing, the calculator explicitly says so instead of guessing.

Before you rely on any estimate

Real crypto tax outcomes can change materially based on holding period, local sourcing rules, residency, loss offsets, cost basis method, entity structure, and activity-specific treatment. Use this page to orient yourself, then open the relevant country guide to review the full context and caveats.
